Introduction to XQL: Writing Your First Query
Learning a new programming or query language can be daunting, but if you've used the boolean options in a web search engine before, you can master XQL queries in no time. Like with web searches, we start with a hypothesis of our search, add filters to limit our results, and then validate the results that are returned against our hypothesis.

Platformizing the AI Decade with Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks' recent acquisitions signal a structural shift from portfolio integration to true platformization for the AI decade. By securing AI pipelines, embedding identity enforcement, converging observability, and governing autonomous endpoints, the platform aligns to machine-speed risk—positioning enterprises to architect resilient, future-ready security rather than react to disruption.
Stop Stacking Boxes. Start Designing Security.
Back-to-back firewalls were effective 15-20 years ago, but in today's encrypted, identity-driven and rapidly evolving threat landscape, they add cost and complexity without meaningful protection. Modern security replaces duplicated perimeters with platform-integrated NGFW enforcement, segmentation and coordinated prevention—delivering stronger, measurable defense through intelligent design rather than stacked legacy controls.
Automating Third-Party Risk with Dataminr + Cortex XSOAR
The gap between collecting threat feeds and applying real-world threat intelligence to your environment is where most programs fail. Security teams know something happened, but struggle to detect it early, determine relevance, and trigger consistent response actions. Integrating Dataminr's AI-powered real-time threat intelligence with Cortex XSOAR enables your SOC to be ahead of physical and cyber threats correlated to your environment.
When Identity Becomes the Battlefield: Why Palo Alto Networks + CyberArk Changes the Map

Palo Alto Cortex XDR Proving Ground Lab
WWT's ATC Palo Alto Cortex XDR Proving Ground Lab provides a consolidated solution built around Cortex XDR, the Palo Alto firewall, Windows endpoints and Windows servers to demonstrate how the Cortex XDR Agent protects against threats. The goal of Cortex XDR is to increase the operational efficiency of the security operations center. Cortex XDR accomplishes this by reducing alerts by combining similar events, stitching together logs from different sources and preventing as many threats as possible early in the attack cycle. Cortex XDR goes beyond the traditional EDR approach of using only endpoint data to identify and respond to threats by applying machine learning across all your enterprise, network, cloud and endpoint data. This approach enables you to quickly find and stop targeted attacks, insider abuse and remediate compromised endpoints. Cortex XDR combines functionality from Endpoint Protection, Endpoint Detection and Response, Network Traffic Analysis and User Behavior Analytics into a single console. This lab consists of servers running common applications that include Palo Alto Cortex XDR, Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Palo Alto VM-Series firewall, Active Directory, Windows IIS and SQL server, and several Windows 10 workstations. You will access the environment using a Windows-based jump host from which you can browse web consoles and open RDP/SSH sessions.
